Electricity: renewable energy subscription programs.

Summary

The bill rewrites the Public Utilities Code to require the California Public Utilities Commission to adopt a community renewable energy program that caps facility size, ensures at least half of its capacity serves low‑income customers, and provides bill credits based on full avoided‑cost calculations. It also obligates community choice aggregators and electric service providers to notify the Commission of participation and mandates quarterly public reporting. The measure failed to become law.
